This fires up the inspector that holds all this precious extra information. During the design phase we agreed that such an inspector is the best way to save space and unclutter the main interface. Additionally the inspector can manage and present more information and settings than the respective widget in Kuroo 0.7 did. See the following screenshot to get an impression:<br/>http://tux.myftp.org/kuroo/attachment/wiki/KurooDev/kuroo8.3.png<br/><br/>Thanks all for your comments and interest in kuroo :-) @previous anonymous

There is just one thing (judging from the screenshots only, have not installed kuroo), how do you access the display of the ebuild and the ChangeLog of a package?

Is it hidden behind options…? or on right-click on the packagename itself?

I really think, these infos should be accesible quite easily.
